Mike bought a couple of bottles of this wine last year when they were on sale for $20. He really seems to like it. I always feel guilty about drinking expensive wine (and for me, any wine over $10 is expensive) for the hell of it, but we don't have enough special occasions to actually drink all the bottles we have (yes, we should have more, but it's not always easy with 2 little kids).

Sunday night, however, I was making a Cameroonian Menu and my friend Arthur happened to drop by, so we invited him to eat with us. He's moving away soon, so I figured that merited a nice bottle of wine. Plus I didn't have any cheaper ones :-)

Anyway, I wasn't too kin on the BV Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2003. It had a nice beginning, it was smooth and buttery, but then it just fell flat. There was nothing there. No middle, no finish.

Mike and Arthur said they liked it, but the bottle went unfinished.
